Fujitsu Components' FTR-MY relay series features compact packaging that measures 5 mm wide x 12 mm high and occupies 100 mm2 of printed circuit board area to meet high-density mounting requirements. It weighs 2,5 g. The dielectric between coil and contacts is 3000 V a.c. and surge strength voltage to 5080 V. Coils feature 110 mW sensitivity and 54 mW operating power. 
The FTR-MY relay has bifurcated gold overlaid silver alloy contacts, a contact rating of 250 V a.c./30 V d.c. at 5 A, and a 5 A maximum switching current. Its mechanical life is rated at 20 million operations. 
The relay comes in a 1 Form A and is available for 4,5 to 24 V d.c. operation with a maximum switching voltage of 277 V a.c., 125 V d.c. Applications include programmable logic controllers, I/O modules, and inverter control.
